The Marketing Mix is a term used to describe the combination of tactics used by an organisation to market it’s target audience. Traditionally the marketing mix consists of the 4p’s, Price, Place, Product and Promotion. In order for the marketing campaign to be a success, the marketing mix needs all four elements.

Internal and External constraints of the marketing environment need to be taken into account when looking at each element. See Diagram:

Product

The product is what the organisation produces or services it provides to the consumer or customer. When taking into account details of the product the organisation should consider the following things:

* Branding
* Image
* Quality
* Packaging

Price

I personally feel that price plays an important part in the sales of a product. Nevertheless when looking at the market the organisation should consider such things as:

The promotion is a very vital to get right when marketing or promoting the product. Sometimes the intensity of the promotion can be due to the funds available. The more funds available the more advertising strategy’s can we used which include things like: * Television

* Radio
* Bill boards
* News Paper, Magazine etc

I also feel that the Push and Pull strategies should also be explored when looking at promotion, as these are the main two types of strategies which are successfully used in business. Place

As well as the place being a contributing factor of the price, the place is also a primarily factor on its own. The place is all to do with the distribution of the product, whether it accessible to the consumer, or if it has good transportation links to the consumer, whether it is one or a kind, a sole trader or a global nation wide organisation. Over View on the 4 P’s

For the organisation to be a success the 4p’s need to be fully researched until all channels have been exhausted. All options must be weighed up, to choose the best plan of action for that individual product at that time, as there are other external factors that contribute to the success of a product called PEST Factors Analysis.
